Does your spouse communicate with his Mother? She probably wants somebody's attention. I sent my kid at a young age to CC too and I do not live with my in-laws. MIL used to care for my kid and she wasn't happy with me sending to CC. Likewise, my kid would be eating chocolate donuts and watching TV all day long. She would let herself into my house, wait for me to come back and scream and shout at me to demand for her grandkid. Hubby isn't home most of the time. I just ignore her. Over time, I let her fetch my kid from CC. It was suppose to be 5pm. But, she fetches at 2 or 3pm. And, bring donuts, cakes etc. What can I do? Only feel blessed that there is someone who loves my kid so much but in her own way. I even try to suggest things to bring when fetching my kid like fresh milk or yakult. Occasionally, I close one eye. My in-laws are retired, they used to sit near the CC the whole day to glimpse at their grandkid until the teachers complain and told them to stay away because whenever my kid cries upon seeing them and thus interrupting the class.
I regain my sanity by working full-time and let nature take its course. As long as child is well taken care of. What more can I ask?
Same situation when my kid started student care. Except, I have another child now, so their attention is focused on the new one. Take life with a pinch of salt.
